Just finished this tonight. Made the wings out of the Stanley Pro Trailer and pieces of living rubber through the rattle holes. The blade is the Quad Plastic in Black with the rivet. I hope it screeches. ![](http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp317/donaldharper/Red%20Wing%20Buzz%20Bird_zpsyqw1ht88.jpg) ![](http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp317/donaldharper/Red%20Wing%20Buzz%20Bird%20side_zpsn9ltwbjq.jpg)

Using the Stanley Pro Trailer I can fill up to 5 holes on each side for wing material. I just filled 3 on each side and it is pretty bushy. Just din't like using Silicone skirt material for the red patches but that was all I had. I will have to get some RED rubber if any orders come in.
The trailer allows me to put it on Black Bladed spinner baits and jigs also. Mann's Bait Co. made a Double Wing Black Willow blades welded together to produce a buzzer that can also be pulled under water. It will be next to get the BIRD Skirt.
Then I have a couple of 40 year old baits called the DIRTY BIRDS. They have a flat spoon type bill and are surface wobblers; that will also be excellent in this new shoreline growth. Not sure they will be heavy enough with the huge skirt profile.

Cool Donald.... I bet that sucker has a heck of a profile from underneath. I would love to see some video of it going through the water from underneath. I bet it looks just like a flopping around bird.
Life is one big playground. Be sure to ride all the rides before it closes.

The light weight plastic Quad blade allows it to go really slow; almost half speed as compared to the others.

That is pretty interesting. I can honestly say that I've never fished with a $25 buzz bait.

Yep, I priced it high to see if the rage on black birds is taking place. I really don't want to sell it and probably want. Although you get a FREE bottle of scent with it. That makes it the price of all my spinner baits. It took 4 hours to put the skirt together. The next one will go together a little faster, as first projects always takes longer.
Edit: Ships FREE also.

I just didn't like the other baits I talked about developing above; so I came up with the frog. Frog - Baby Red Wing.![](http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp317/donaldharper/Frog%20Bird%20Side_zpssbtklm3q.jpg)
